Dutch pump
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
- A punishment so contrived that, if the prisoner would not pump hard, he was drowned.
- A reputed 17th century punishment, which has been described in two different ways. [1] the sailor was thrown overboard and had to tread water (pump the feet) to keep from drowning. [2] the rasphouse, an old amsterdam prison, had a punishment cell for lazy prisoners. in one corner was a pump, and in another, a pipe through which a steady stream of water was admitted. the prisoner could stand still and be drowned or pump frantically until the jailer chose to relieve him. this concept is said to have been transferred to sea by holing a small compartment below the waterline.
